Goodbye, Mr. Mu

The city is full of traffic, but everyone still has his own loneliness.

Mu Huaizhang was not so impatient in the past, but when he was walking home recently, he really felt that he had changed.

Don't rush or panic, it seems to say goodbye to him. Every time I go home, I feel that the car in front of me is really driving too slowly. I wish I could install propellers on my car. It would be best if I could fly.

Especially this intersection, which is only one turn away from home, because it is not a big intersection, there is no left-turn waiting area, and there is only one traffic light directing the straight-going left-turn to act together.Every time during peak hours, Mu Huaizhang has to wait here for no less than two traffic lights.

Especially today, before he went home, he sent a message to Chai Fei, asking him if he wanted to exchange that cup of coffee for a candied haws.Chai Fei, who had been replying in seconds, hadn't heard anything for a long time. Mu Huaizhang thought he was going home soon, maybe he didn't call back because he was cooking and didn't hear it, but after all, he was a little worried and wanted to get home soon.

The car in front seemed to be a novice, and finally waited for the green light, and turned back three times at the start, causing Mu Huaizhang to wait another red light before turning into the road into the community.I don't know what happened, the more the delay, the more uneasy Mu Huaizhang felt, but he couldn't explain why.

But Mu Huaizhang still comforted himself, Chai Fei stayed at home well, what could happen?Even so, Mu Huaizhang ran up the stairs after buying coffee and cakes.

The slight sweat on his fingers caused him to fail to recognize him when he opened the lock with his fingerprints. Mu Huaizhang could only hold coffee, a cake, and a bright red candied haws in one hand, and skillfully swipe the numeric keypad with the other hand to enter the password.

"Boss Chai, look what I brought..." The smile on Mu Huaizhang's face hadn't fully opened yet, but he got stuck halfway after seeing the two people sitting on the sofa.

A face with a smile or not, Chai Fei with a stiff and unnatural expression on the sofa, and Mu Huaizhang's parents who can't see happiness or anger but are not too happy...

The four people who had different ideas but were all anxious because of some unspeakable embarrassment looked at each other in blank dismay.Only the old cat, hiding behind the sofa, whispered "meow" at Mu Huaizhang, not knowing whether it was ironic or comforting.

The candied haws in Mu Huaizhang's hand now became the comical protagonist in the room because of its unique color. The eyes of Mu Huaizhang's parents all fell on the candied haws in unison, and then turned from the red fruit to Mu Huaizhang's. On the tip of the nose that was slightly red from the cold.

"Mom and Dad, why didn't you say hello in advance, so that I can pick you up." Mu Huaizhang probably felt that he was holding a candied haws, and it was not appropriate for Fang Tian to poke at the door like a painted halberd, so he rushed to Chai Fei naturally. He beckoned and asked him to come over and stuff the candied haws into his hand, "You can eat two first, and the rest after dinner."

Chai Fei was amazed at the speed at which he adjusted his state, and felt that what he said just now might be too sweet to the ears of the two old people, so he blushed unconsciously.However, he took the opportunity to take the things to the kitchen to avoid the awkward environment a little bit, but the kitchen is open, and there is nowhere to hide.

Mu Huaizhang had already received a call from his parents, and it was still from his mother, asking him how he was doing, and then asking him if he was still the same as before.Mu Huaizhang understood their feelings very well, and he didn't want to stab them any further, so he tried to express the current situation in a calm manner.

He has never reported his worries to his family since he was a child, and now he will not tell his family about Chai Fei's illness.He didn't know how far Chai Fei had talked with them before he came back, but based on what he knew about his parents, he didn't think he would embarrass Chai Fei.

Dissatisfied with his own son, his father has always practiced self-discipline behind closed doors, and he can't embarrass outsiders even if he is killed or disabled.Therefore, even if his father could really beat him up with a belt because of his unusual relationship, he would not embarrass Chai Fei face to face.

My father still didn't speak much, and it was my mother who spoke first, "You haven't been back for a long time. It happened that your father came here to visit an old comrade-in-arms, so I came with him. I thought you must not be at home at this time. I only planned to knock on the door to try, but I didn't expect Xiao Chai to be at home."

Mu Huaizhang chose a good place to sit down, right between his parents and Chai Fei in the kitchen, as if he wanted to block Chai Fei.

"Well, luckily Chai Fei is at home, otherwise he wouldn't call me in this cold weather."

"I know you're busy, and I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble." The mother struggled to maintain the atmosphere of the conversation, and from time to time, her eyes would always look towards the kitchen, as if she wanted to stand up but hesitated.

Following his line of sight, Mu Huaizhang turned to look at Chai Fei, saw that he had washed his hands, put on his apron and began to pack some ingredients, he sighed inwardly, and felt that the little prince seemed to be working hard.

"Dad, Mom, it's too cold outside, and you just came here again. I'll ask the restaurant downstairs to bring up some food. Let's eat at home." Although Mu Huaizhang also called Mom, his eyes still fell on his father.

Since he entered the door, his father has not spoken to him.

But this is nothing, anyway, they all came with the mother, which shows that the father's attitude has changed.He couldn't just come to the door and whip him again. If he really wanted to, he did it when he first entered the door.

Mu Huaizhang's heart is as broad as the sea, but Chai Fei does not have such a good psychological quality. He keeps secretly looking at Mu Huaizhang with small eyes, as if asking for help, which makes Mu Huaizhang very soft-hearted.

"Ah."

A long time after Mu Huaizhang finished asking his father, so long that Mu Huaizhang thought he would not answer, Cai heard his father lower his throat, "Yes."

He exchanged glances with his mother, who raised the corner of her mouth with difficulty.

Mu Huaizhang understood that the two elders were not ready to fully accept the "unusual" relationship between him and Chai Fei.This time, I may just want to ease the relationship with my son.But unexpectedly, it was Chai Fei who opened the door.

The two elders were driven to the shelves, sometimes hesitating whether to accept it or not, and sometimes entangled in how to deal with this special identity of Chai Fei.

Mu Huaizhang fully understood, but there was nothing he could do.Fortunately, their good self-cultivation requires them to treat others well, especially such a beautiful and thin young man.

Mu Huaizhang went to the kitchen to make a phone call under the pretext of ordering food, and stood side by side with Chai Fei who was standing in front of the sink and was preparing something.

Seen from the living room, Chai Fei's back is tall and steady.When Mu Huaizhang stood beside him, he saw that he had ravaged the poor lettuce leaves in his hand until they turned into a limp dark green.

Holding the mobile phone in one hand, Mu Huaizhang deliberately bumped him with his shoulder, "Well, how many are there? Don't make it spicy." While communicating with the phone to order dishes, Mu Huaizhang asked Chai Fei with his eyes, "Did the lettuce invite you? "

Chai Fei was uncomfortable at first, and when he approached him suddenly, it was as if he had thorns on his body, and he almost jumped half a meter away from him.

Afraid of scaring him, Mu Huaizhang stopped approaching him, but hung up the phone and said in a low voice, "Don't be nervous, they can come, it means that it has changed from before."

Chai Fei can't listen to his comforting words at the moment, for fear of causing trouble to him, and ask his father to beat him up again, "How about I call a car and go back to the bookstore first, and you eat?"

"What's the point? How can there be such a reason? Didn't you have a good chat before I came back?"

"I can only say it's okay, but I can't say it's good. It's your mother talking all the time, but your father never said anything. I'm afraid he will hit you again." Chai Fei lowered his head and didn't look at Mu Huaizhang. While turning his head, his voice was still too low, as if he was afraid of being seen talking to Mu Huaizhang.

Mu Huaizhang took the tableware in his hand and rinsed it under the water, "He is not talkative by nature, don't worry, I can see that they like you." This is a lie, Mu Huaizhang can't see it, He just said this for Chai Fei's peace of mind.

"Then I'm still nervous." Chai Fei frowned slightly with her pretty brows.

"Don't be nervous, you can eat safely, they both like people who eat well."

"Can you stop being poor?" No matter what, Chai Fei really relaxed a lot after being made such a joke by him. Unconsciously, he turned his head to talk to Mu Huaizhang, and he no longer tensed his shoulders, making people look at him. It's exhausting.

The restaurant downstairs delivered the food quickly, and Mu Huaizhang had all the dishes before he set the tableware.After a short rest and recovery, the mother also relaxed a bit. Although she was still a little unnatural, she also started to talk to Chai Fei with a smile.

Mu Huaizhang had to work in the afternoon, so he only poured wine for his father. Chai Fei thought it would be okay for him to carry a glass of wine, but his father was the first to say, "You all have something to do in the afternoon, so don't drink."

"Then yourself?" Mu Huaizhang spoke before Chai Fei, because he would not agree to drink with Chai Fei.

"It's always been me at home."

"Well."

Although the meal was not a happy meal, everyone was not too uncomfortable.After the meal, Chai Fei wanted to clean up the dishes and go to the kitchen, but Mu Huaizhang's mother took the lead, and cleaned up in two or three times.

Mu Huaizhang knew that the two of them had the habit of taking a nap, "I'll clean up the other bedroom, you two can rest."

"No, I'll leave in a while." This time, the father didn't let the mother speak, nor did he care about her reluctant eyes.

Chai Fei looked at the troubled woman, and said, "Uncle, Auntie, it's hard to come here once, stay a few more days, I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't accompany you."

Mu Huaizhang didn't want Chai Fei to leave alone at this time, especially since he hadn't fully recovered. "Stay a few days longer, so I can let the secretary take you two around. I'll see you when I get back from work in the evening. Dad, Chai Fei made some tea. Okay, you have a taste. You take a rest first, we went to tidy up the bedroom."

After finishing speaking, Mu Huaizhang naturally took Chai Fei's hand and led him to the second bedroom.
